I hope this turns out good. Apparently they are openly 'Americanizing' this.

“Our vision for Death Note has always been to bring this captivating story to the screen for its longtime manga fans and to introduce the world to this dark and mysterious masterpiece. The talent and diversity represented in our cast, writing, and producing teams reflect our belief in staying true to the story’s concept of moral relevance — a universal theme that knows no racial boundaries.” - Producers Roy Lee and Dan Lin

Netflix's Live-Action Death Note Film Reveals More Characters, Cast, 2017 Premiere

Netflix announced on Friday that its live-action Death Note film will premiere streaming in 2017.

In addition to the 2006 television anime adaptation and tie-in specials, Death Note also received a Japanese live-action film adaptation in 2006, with a sequel titled Death Note: The Last Name, and a spinoff titled L change the WorLd in 2008. A live-action television series adaptation premiered last July, and ended last September. A new film titled Death Note 2016, described as a "forbidden sequel" to the first live-action film, is set to open in Japan on October 29. The manga also inspired a stage musical by Broadway veterans in 2014. Viz released the manga, Japanese live-action films, anime, and other tie-in projects in North America, and Crunchyroll streamed the live-action television series.

Well, if they are Americazing it then something better than Dragonball: Evolution please.
Yea, that's how low my expectations are

 

[pdbluray]

One of those will watch it (esp since it is Netflix which seem to do dark stuff really well ATM) but have zero expectations.

 

[AlienKing]

Unless they are completely changing the genre when they adapt, i wouldn't really consider this 'horror'

Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.

Definitely has my interest Thanks for the thread @kaw

Ahhh Hollywood!! Ahhhh whitewashing!! AHHHHHH!!!!

I still haven't got around to watching all of the original movie (seen bits here and there), but this looks cool... and how perfect is Dafoe for the role for Ryuk?!

 

[AlienKing]

@kaw I'm pretty sure i created a thread for this somewhere...

@Noodles I cant think of a better person to play Ryuk than Dafoe. He even got that face to boot. No offense
But yea, this look very cool. And very dark. I love it. I have hope because it's with Netflix.

 

[kaw]

@AlienKing You're Right. I did a search in the movies section for this and nothing came up... But I always forget to look in the "horror" section. Its too confusing!!!
I'll merge them.

 

[denizen]

Not impressed. Don't think it'll match up to the Anime series. Just my opinion.

Don't worry... I'm sure we were all thinking it.

 

[Flloydo]

This looks like it could be OK

Was worried when this was announced

Agree Dafoe is a perfect choice
